    Recommended Scenarios for the newcommers *SPOILERS*

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    I just played the scenario Al Huqf engagement by non other then James Allen, and I must say as an introductory scenario to modern urban warfare it's great.

    It's not as big and intimidating as some of the scenarios out there are but it's small and still very cool.

    **SPOILER**

    ******************************************

    As the blue side the scenario wasn't all that difficult , also when I played the syrians neglected to use their AFV .

    *********************************************

    If anyone else feels like it, add scenarios here that you think would be fun for the not so groggish newcomer.

    First Impressions

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    When first starting it I thought things looked fairly typical "Combat Mission", but as soon as my men and vehicle started to move I was totally blown away! Things looked way better then I hoped they would (and WAY better then in the movies we've been getting).

    Watching my first javelin kill was also very nice.

    My one gripe so far is with the AI.

    I tried a quickbattle on a tiny map vs mech syrian forces.

    My first contact was some APC's in the distans.

    After a bit of hassle and a few men lost(2) I got my men onto some rooftops armed with javelins from my strykers (all this is very cool by the way, I love getting stuff from my strykers).

    "WHOOOSH!"

    *silence*

    "KA-BOOOM" !!!

    Splodey things hit thinly armoured troop transports. A couple of minutes after this I am the winner of the scenario (I think time ran out).

    I watch the carnege in the AAR view. The area around the enemy APCs are littered with dead and wounded...voila.

    This sounds cool, and it kind of was , but I have a few worries about these quick battles. It seems you REALLY need the right map plans for the right map or the AI may be very inactive in some corner of the map.

    This was only my first quick battle , so the second one might come as a positive surprise.

    Other then this I deffinitely like the game...this is CM on steroids, with Strykers, Javelins and all those wonderfull details we all love so much :D .

    Next, (you're not gonna like this one) RTFM. CMSF is not the same game as CMx1. The user interface is completely different. Do not expact it to work the same way because it was not designed to.

    The short answer to your set up question is to select "move". If you move the unit with the set up area it will move there. If you move it outside the set up area then as soon as the game starts the unit will move there (you have essentially plotted it's first move). The set up areas are colored areas that are the same color as what is underneath your units when you get in the game.

    Whatever happened to calling people wankers?

    You have turned into such a nice and helpfull person as of late Elvis.

    Frankly, I'm dissapointed!

    ;)

    WHAT TIME????

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Demo ?! We don't need no stinkin' demos !

    Bring on the complete CMSF , and in my case the collectors edition :D .

    (Of course if the demo mission is as great as the demos for previous CM games I hope that the scenario is included with the game smile.gif ).
